Long Island Property Division Attorney

Property Division Lawyer in Nassau and Suffolk Counties

When considering divorce in the state of New York, it is especially important to be prepared while protecting yourself in the division of any marital property. In New York, marital property is considered anything acquired while legally married and is subject to an equitable distribution. This distribution of property is based on the legal systems view of what is fair and does not necessarily mean a 50/50 split. It is customary for property that was acquired during the marriage to be divided based on factors such as each individual's work history and prospective income, income at the start of the marriage, health, age, living standards during the marriage and length of the marriage. Because the court becomes the determining factor when an agreement cannot be reached between the parties involved, it is a very important step to have an experienced team upholding your best interests.
